On this day in 1776,
After one week of fighting Brig. Gen. John Sullivan is forced to break off and retreat back to Washington at New York after The Battle of Three Rivers. Brig. Gen. William Thompson is the first US General captured in battle. This marked the end of the Battle for Quebec.
And in 1780,
Cap. John McClure attacks a group of Loyalists gathering to take protection under Col. Housman. This is the first Patriot victory after the fall of Charleston.
